I've been working on a book with a great author out of South Africa, and I just did some work on a cover. Thought this was a good example of how an idea starts small before it is finished. Sometimes I will do a number of tiny sketches before deciding to turn one into a finished product. Other times, I like the first sketch enough to just go with it, (though that probably isn't the best advice).
Off to the left side you can see the edge of another roughly sketched idea that I decided to pass on, (it involved a clock tower).
Is this going to become a reality? Great Cover!
ReplyDeleteWe hope so! I have the first three spreads, and last three all illustrated, as well as the cover. I am placing text in the pages now. When I'm finished with that, Julian will be taking it to the publishers before I finish the book.
